The Shtick I Do

This is a bracelet I whipped up from some extra strips of cotton I had crocheted for a hot pad. I didn't need them so I made this instead!!

So, I've been working on making more bags like this one (I'm on number 4) and making more of these for that blanket I want to complete sometime before the next century rolls around. The problem with the blanket project is that I just need to break down and go buy a cone of the yarn instead of having to run out every 2 or 3 days and get one of the teensy weensy skeins. I'm such a penny pincher. ^_^ Anyway, I made this bracelet a while back and keep getting comments on it so I thought I'd post it again with the newest version in burgundy crochet thread. The thread version is more delicate and has definitely garnered more positive comments than the regular yarn version. With the regular yarn version I got comments like, "How cute" and "Ahh". With this newest thread version it's more of "That's soda tabs? How neat!" and "I could make one to match almost any outfit!". So, yes, I will take the thread version, please. ...

That's why the interwebs is full of awesome things we've made!  Soda can tabs have been made into all kinds of cool stuff. I've seen bras, belly dancing belts, headbands, bracelets and purses. This one is neat. Those colors are great, I love it. Even the strap is made from soda tabs. I don't think I have the patience to make something that involved. It's not that I couldn't come up with the tabs . . . I live on soda. I just keep finding all sorts of new things to make! So I jump from one project to another like a frog in a pond going from lily pad to lily pad. <ribbit> Currently I'm on the Soda Tab Bracelet lily pad. I've made several and one in particular I've worn for a few days now. It's a cu...
